have a continuous hunger to raise our game, innovate and be the best we can be professionally.

Why we're proud

2024 CX Awards Winner, 'Best Mid-Market Contact Center Platform' Puzzel was recognised as the 'most innovative European-founded CCaaS provider' and top 3 globally by Frost & Sullivan in 2023 Best Practices Company of the Year 2023 Consistently high Glassdoor rating Puzzel places high importance on work-life balance and flexible working hours - as recognised by Flexa, placing 16th overall for work:life balance in 2025! We are working with Mercer on salary benchmarking, to ensure pay equality and market competitiveness

Key Data Points

EUR57m revenue in FY 2024 (up from EUR50m in 2023) Currently ~300 employees Used by more than 1100 businesses across 40 countries Servicing ~60,000 customer service agents on a daily basis + 800 million customer interactions yearly

Diversity & Inclusion

We want everyone at Puzzel to be their true, authentic selves at work irrespective of nationality, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, physical ability, age, or economic background.


Whilst we are proud to already have a diverse workforce from across the globe, we are aware that things could always be improved - for example, we currently have a ratio of female 26:74 male employees, which whilst not uncommon for the tech industry (average in SaaS is 26% female), it's far from ideal. So, what are we doing to improve this?

Our Global Leadership Team (C-suite) has shifted from 100% male at the start of 2023 to 4 men: 5 women. We have increased our % of female hires from 23.6% in 2021 to 38.5% in 2023 and 41% in 2024! We are partnering with the likes of Flexa, who have significantly higher-than-average talent pools of candidates from diverse backgrounds. We are working with State Employment initiatives in Norway and Sweden to bring candidates through internship/apprenticeship routes and are investigating similar initiatives in the UK and Bulgaria. By raising awareness and transparency, we are hoping to further attract a diverse workforce.


We are continuously striving to foster an inclusive and diverse environment, where everyone is celebrated for who they are. If there is anything we can do to support you in the interview process, or beyond, please let us know.
